Hi from Colorado

Hi, everyone! We found a super deal on a red (chili?) 2012 MINI Roadster (R59, I learned late last night). Great CarFax, 2 owner, 60K miles, purchased from a local reputable BMW dealer. I am crossing my fingers that with proper care, the car stays fun and reliable; it's my daily driver to keep miles off my Jeep (and to have fun with). I have a friend that is in California who has both a classic, and a new one, and she said that the MINI community is a lot like the Jeep community, with the extreme fondness for their vehicles (and vehicle personality appreciation). I'm looking forward to learning a ton, and hopefully also getting back into autocrossing.

Welcome to the forum and MINI ownership. The Roadster S should be a great car for a daily driver until the snow is too deep.

Welcome!

I'm south of you (COS) and we drop the top if it's 40f higher and sunny So, almost every day in Colorado! We also wave to other MINIs, kinda fun.

Only thing better than a MINI is a MINI Vert.
